Log & Exterior Staining in Ignacio
We are in Ignacio constantly, about 20 minutes from our Bayfield shop, comfortably inside our normal working radius for log & exterior staining.
Ignacio and the surrounding valley run to acreage: shops, barns, equipment covers, and the site work that has to happen before any of it goes up.
Ignacio is one of our core markets, which means faster scheduling and a crew that already knows the local building department, the terrain, and the supply houses.
What log & exterior staining looks like in Ignacio
A log home at 7,500 feet takes more UV in a summer than most houses take in three. The south and west elevations burn first: the finish chalks, the logs go silver, and once water starts sitting in the checks you are into rot repair instead of a stain job.
We pull permits through La Plata County and, where the work falls inside city limits, through the local building department. You do not have to learn their process.
The work is mostly prep. Media blasting or sanding back to clean wood, borate treatment where it is warranted, then a finish system built for full sun exposure rather than whatever was on the shelf. Chinking and caulk lines get looked at while we are on the wall, because that is when it is cheap to fix.
What's included
- Media blasting, corn cob, or sanding back to bare log
- Borate treatment for rot and insect prevention
- Two- and three-coat stain systems rated for high-UV exposure
- Chinking and caulk joint repair and replacement
- Log rot assessment, and replacement or Dutchman repair
- Decks, railings, timbers, and outbuildings to match

Log & Exterior Staining in Ignacio: questions we get
Not seeing yours? Ask us directly. We answer.
Do you charge extra to come out to Ignacio?
No. Ignacio is inside our standard service area and there is no drive-time surcharge on your invoice.
How fast can you get to Ignacio?
Small repairs typically go on the schedule within a week or two. Larger projects book further out, and it swings with the season. Pick a week on our site-visit page and we'll confirm the day with you. We're glad to walk a project months before it starts.
Are you insured to work in La Plata County?
Yes, we are insured, and we will send a certificate directly to you, your HOA, or your property manager before we start.
How often does a log home up here need re-staining?
Three to six years depending on exposure, and the elevations do not wear evenly. South and west faces usually need attention while the north side still looks fine. We will tell you if you only need two walls done rather than selling you the whole house.
Do I have to blast it, or can you just recoat?
Depends what is on there. A compatible finish in decent shape can sometimes take a maintenance coat. A failing film finish has to come off, or the new coat fails with it. We check before quoting rather than after.
What time of year is best?
Late spring through early fall. The finish needs surface temperature and dry conditions to cure properly, and forcing it in shoulder season is how you get a job that does not last.
